Could you identify which hardkernel linux-image corresponds to the latest version in your all/c2 repository?

e.g., the latest hardkernel version is linux-image-3.14.79-116.

I am only interested in your basic debian image as a starting point for my own distro for the C2. So I don't think I need your other repositories, and I think only the linux-image from your all/c2 repository. So I am wondering if I should just upgrade the linux-image from hardkernel going forward, or keep tracking your repository. If that makes sense.

My Kernel have a date in the version numbers. Every patches until that day on the github repo from hardkernel are included.I use hardkernels gitrepo as a basis and just change some options, for example for the media-tree so you have access to more dvb adapters.

The Debian Base image is a very minimal image, with only a few drivers and the Kernel + Headers installed, it's a very good start to create your own image.You can remove everything but the all/c2 repo if you just want to keep the Kernel updates.

updated libgl-odroid packagein all/testing package list-> Latest changes from @ptitSeb with more work on OpenGL ES 2.0 shader support.There are probably gonna come a lot more changes and many more games that are compatible with gl4es now!

updated libgl-odroid packagein all/testing package list-> Latest changes from @ptitSeb with more work on OpenGL ES 2.0 shader support.I reverted a patch for raster (glBitmap / glDrawPixels) which was causing issues, this fixes yabause again.Aside from that @ptitSeb added tons of more patches for OpenGL 2.0 and shader support and there are soon a new releases for ODROIDs with more OpenGL games that are supported.Many thanks to @ptitSeb for his awesome and impressive work!

There is a post on 24 June 2017 stating that you created a meta package for Kernel 4.9 and will remove the 3.10 Kernel so you should be able to switch to Kernel 4.9 without much trouble. Just checking on this, you mean this will remove the old kernel but not install kernel 4.9 correct. This is not an auto upgrade correct? Or, am I missing something?

Sorry, 1 unrelated question. I know the eMMC is a bit faster than old sd cards. I have never used a eMMC card so in reality I have no idea the speed difference. In your experience, how much faster is the eMMC than the scan disk ultra micro sd cards? Is it worth the extra funds to purchase the faster card?

Actually that IS an autoupdate.On my images you only need to install the packages you named above and it will automatically switch from 3.10 to 4.9.

eMMC is a lot faster in reading.. up to 190 MB/sec read speed is very good if you want your system to boot up very fast. Writing is a little bit slower, but should overall be slightly faster than a SD card, but also more stable, means the write speed is constant over time, while SD cards get slower. It's worth if you need the performance. Still I often use SD cards for testings and only use eMMC where I want to use something permanent.

I'm not sure.. I heard starting from ffmpeg 3.4 it should be included, but I don't think there are any .deb packages for this yet.And for other version you need a patched version. I haven't investigated yet. I have some old packages for Kernel 4.9: https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/kernel/XU3/4.9.x/ffmpeg/Not sure if they work correctly, I think they had quite some issues.

I'll look further into it when I have time.Currently only Debian Buster (Debian 10) and deb-multimedia for Debian Buster have ffmpeg 3.4 packages.

updated kodi-next-odroid packagein jessie/backports package list-> Updated Kodi to 17.6 (including a fix for Kernel 4.14 to make 1080p working again

Exhanged 8192cu-dkms packagein all/main package list-> new dkms driver for 8192cu based WLAN adaptersPlease Note: I've previously had a different (older) driver here that was now replaced. Sadly the "older" driver had a higher version number.So in case you installed it you have to uninstall your old version and reinstall the version from the repo.

new packages and dependencies for ffmpegin jessie/backports package list-> I've created a backport for ffmpeg related packages in version 3.4 from Debian Buster, which include drivers for MFC hardware decoding.This allows you to hardware decode videos on the desktop or from within other programs that can use ffmpeg related drivers.I had to backport several different drivers from Debian Stretch and Debian Buster to get this to work.Also you need Kernel 4.14 to be able to use these drivers:dpkg:-> build dependency

I haven't tested Debian Stretch yet, but it should work nonetheless.You probably have to install it with apt-get install -t jessie ffmpeg or apt-get install -t stretch ffmpeg depending on your OS.You might also have to install some libraries from jessie-backports in order to be able to install ffmpeg.

If you want to use ffmpeg libraries for compiling your own software make sure to install linux-libc-dev from -t jessie or -t stretch (my repos) as well.It is for Kernel 4.14 and has definitions needed for MFC hardware decoding (v4l2m2m definitions).

Hi meveric,i have installed your Debian Jessie Image on my XU4 and wanted to install ffmpeg 3.4 but i got only older version while installing via apt-get install -t jessie ffmpeg or apt-get install -t jessie-backports ffmpeg. Do I have to download and install all deb-Packages you mentioned above manually?

nope that should not be required.Don't use apt-get install jessie-backports ffmpeg as it will install a different version.Since you're using Debian Jessie, the easiest way is probably to disable deb-multimedia (mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-multimedia.list{,.bak}) and try again with apt-get install -t jessie ffmpegPlease report back any issues you see, as I haven't tried it on a clean system yet Also remember that you need Kernel 4.14 for hardware acceleration.

This version has some crazy dependencies which could easily break parts of your desktop, so I had to be very careful with the dependencies.I'm not sure if I like this version of Kodi yet, so I don't replace the "old" one with it. Still you can install it with:

o_OIf you've done an apt-get update at least once it the last 6 month you should have this package listed.Are you running Debian Wheezy oder Debian Jessie? (lsb_release -a should show this info).If you're still on Debian Wheezy it won't be available. In fact a lot of things won't be available on Debian Wheezy and you should download the GameStation Turbo image based on Debian Jessie.

updated moonlight-embedded packagein jessie/main package list-> updated to version 2.4.4 with code from @AreaScout which improves performance on Exynos 4 and 5 devices (XU3/XU4 should be full speed at 1080p@60) and adapted options for he starter -> http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=15456

Please Note: You have to install/update moonlight with apt-get install -t jessie-backports moonlight-embedded as it now requires libssl >= 1.0.2
